It's Saturday, who is brewing?!

[Eastside Brewer]

I wish I was! I have 6 gallons of a brown ale in a carboy, I'm going to add gelatin to it today to fine it. I hope to have it kegged and carbed by Monday or Tues. I am planning a 10 gal batch of IPA at the end of February, but I would like to get in one more 5 gal. batch of something(?) before then.

Racked two batches of WPA onto hops today. Gonna pick up ingredients for a batch of wit at Bell's this afternoon. Can't brew it cuz I don't have a starter started.

 

[Coastarine]

90% efficiency!! 1.057 instead of the planned 1.047!

 

[BlindLemonLars]

I'd planned to brew an Irish red, but we've got ridiculous Santa Ana winds blowing today. No way I can keep my burner going in this gale, and debris is blowing all over the backyard. Some of my patio furniture blew into the pool!

 

[ThatFishGuy]

Brewing up some cream o' 3 crops in a while. But i want to go shoot some skeet/trap ....decisions, decisions....

 

[ctbrewer227]

Snowed in and im a noob so decided to fight the weather hit up my LHBS maltose express this mornin buy a clone kit for stovepipe porter, picked up a case of flying dog, and brewing and drinking now as we speak.

 

[user 22118]

Making Stout and posting as I go.

 

[ArcaneXor]

I'll probably just do a starter for my Chimay Blue clone tonight or tomorrow.

 

[SudsItUp]

I just bottled my first batch of beer ever and started a new one.

 

[BlackDogBrewing]

I'm doing the final boil with the hops right now on a Dunkelweizen, my second brew, and enjoying my first brew- a nut brown- It's snowing here in Pennsylvania so I figured I could use a bit of snow in the sink to speed up the cooling process.

Snowed in? It's a little bit of snow.
I will give you a break because you are brewing and you visited Maltose. That new location they have is so much nicer. About four times the size of the last one.

 

[LizardSpit]

i am brewing my first IPA today.

 

[Jewrican]

I am brewing the Black Pearl Porter Extract conversion that Bobby helped me with.

 

[Coastarine]

The weather was seriously iffy for me here today. TWC said sunny till 2 then t-showers. I was getting rained on off and on during the mash and sparge, then I checked the radar and timed the boil perfectly between cells. I made up for it with efficiency. Volume finally turned out perfect too.

 

[kevinkaseykizer]

yep!... you guys are 6 min late so far... haha

haha it was fun, enjoyed brewing with others!

 

[Jersh]

Well today was my first ever brew day... I think it went off pretty much without a hitch, only thing I should have done was left my wort chiller in another 5 minutes or so. I brewed a full-boil Irish Red Ale extract kit from Northernbrewer. When I transferred to my primary the fermometer was reading 76F, the closet that I'm storing the fermenter in is around 72F so I'm holding the fermenter in a cooler with water chilled by frozen water bottles. I tried to put it in the spare bedroom closet (much cooler, usually around 66 in there) but SWMBO threw a fit, didn't want her clothes to start stinking (clothes that are in that closet b/c she NEVER wears them). I told her they wouldn't stink, afterall beer smells good, but she didn't buy it. Oh well. Now I'm planning my next brew, will be brewing again next weekend.

 

[Petho]

Tonight, we will be trying a American Ale with some steeping grains. first time with grains so we are in new teratory. My 11 year old daughter is taking an interest in brewing so i will have some help tonight. Good times.

 

[Gonefishing]

If I lived where you do I might be here Ebenezers Pub Cellar Tour | HereForTheBeer.com

You might, but you'd be driving more than 140 miles one way to do it... that is in Lovell, Maine, I'm in Lowell, Massachusetts

 

[Gonefishing]

I brewed last weekend and have 15 gallons fermenting right now. The fermentation freezer is full and I have 15 gallons of Wounded Knee Dry Hopping with suspended sacks. I'll be removing the hops tomorrow and putting them in the keezer to chill and carb. They should be ready by the time I get back from ice fishing next week.

The brew I'm drinking right now was dry hopped with an ounce of Cascades suspended in a nylon bag (paint strainer) for 13 days with no apparent flavor or aroma resulting. Did I use a bag that is too fine? Obviously it works for you... so what have I done wrong?

 

[Bulls Beers]

I brewed a nice batch of Munich Helles and watched a 10 gallon clone of Sam Adams Utopia being brewed...That was a site to see...

 

[HillbillyDeluxe]

Just cracked my new american amber (2 weeks conditioned). Racked my scotch ale to secondary and getting resdy to boil an american light(for those hot summer days). Pipelinin' baby!!! Damn i love this hobby.


Ridin', brewin', and starin at my hot wife!!! Life is good!!

 

[Brew-boy]

Not brewing tonight but took all my faucets apart and Man are they Nasty! Drinking a nice Beire de Garde to keep me feeling good while I clean.

 

[Coastarine]

This is bugging me...is the name of the beer not "Utopias"? I haven't seen a single person on this board put the "s" on the end.

 

[stokems]

This weather sucks! I want to brew so bad it hurts and between the snowstorm and single digit, freezing cold I could pop. I have stuff to make an all grain 5 gallons of cream ale and a light lager and can I brew ....no. I am dying to break in my new rig and it aint happening.

 

[strider]

Was I going to brew... yes... and I did. Friend came over who I'm going to help w/ his first brew too get a feel for the process and I made my Brewcraft Dead Guy clone kit that my sis got me. All went well other then me topping off with too much water and missing my OG by .007 points. Oh well

[Maveric777]

Sitting here in the garage with cooker just an arms reach away (using for heat as well....lol) with a Porter going. Meant to get this thing on the road around 2pm today, but got a bit sidetracked.

No worries though... Brewing on a Saturday night equals a great time in my book.....

 

[beergorila]

Coconut rum stout ... rolling boil.

 

[BierMuncher]

Brewing up some cream o' 3 crops in a while. But i want to go shoot some skeet/trap ....decisions, decisions....

Sounds like an interesting beer there.

I know which I'd vote for.

 

[HillbillyDeluxe]

[Coastarine]
